A former aide to Gov. Kathy Hochul reportedly had her $3.5 million Long Island home raided by the FBI early Tuesday.
The feds carried out the pre-dawn search at the five-bedroom property where Linda Sun, one of Hochul’s former deputy chiefs of staff, lives in a gated community in Manhasset, the New York Times reported.
The reason for the raid wasn’t immediately clear.
Neither Sun, 40, nor her husband, Chris Hu, 41, have been accused of any wrongdoing and no arrests were made, sources told the outlet.
The search warrant was obtained by the US Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn, the sources added.
The couple had owned the expansive home that was raided until transferring it into a trust in March, property records show.
Sun has worked in various government roles across the Empire State for 15 years — including both the Hochul and ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo administrations, according to her LinkedIn profile.
While working as a Hochul aide, Sun focused on business development, Asian American affairs, and diversity, equity and inclusion, her profile shows.
Sun, who attended both Barnard College and Columbia University, left her executive chamber role after 15 months and took a job with the New York State Department of Labor in 2022.
Her husband, meanwhile, runs a liquor store in Flushing, Queens.
He has also incorporated various businesses within the last decade — including one at the beginning of the COVID pandemic called Medical Supplies USA LLC.
Efforts to reach both Sun and Hu weren’t immediately successful.
The Post has also reached out to Hochul’s office and the FBI.
